Isn't it about time the studios gave us something back and had a bit of faith in the consumer? I know that the movie studios are businesses but these movies need a wider audience to see them in 3D and I reckon in the end, it will work out as a good, positive step. No doubt there will be plenty of 3D doubters who would take the plunge if the classic 3D movies were released on the Blu-ray 3D format too. Also, isn't it important to preserve these films and keep them actively within the market place, rather than allowing them to just fade into obscurity and possible degradation in the archives? Don't studios have a responsibility to preserve and promote their own heritage too? Surely, its not always about money. The History and preservation of film (and classic 3D movies) has to be of more importance than purely monetary gain. Also, just like Scorcese, modern day film-makers could learn a lot from watching these classic 3D movies again.
